You fantasize about savory homemade meals and a spotless kitchen. Too bad your overflowing sink and smelly takeout leftovers keep knocking you back to reality.

Live the dream with a little help from self-proclaimed “culinary architect” and personal chef Sabra Gonzalez.

Working with her is easy. You share your usual grocery list or give her a tour of your fridge. Gonzalez then shops for ingredients based on your tastes and whips up a week’s worth of dinners right in your kitchen.

Her specialties include comfort foods (oven-roasted chicken, turkey meatloaf), fruits and veggies (snap peas, fried apples, sweet potato fries), and traditional dishes with local twang (one taste of the Sweetwater 420 flank steak and you’ll ask her to move in).

Gonzalez packages and labels everything with instructions and leaves behind a clean kitchen and some down-home cooking.

No hard hat required.
